Animating text in Flash 3

[Fabrice Dupont]

Hi all


I'm a bit new to this, so bear with me.


Am I nuts, or is it impossible to fade text in and out unless you make it 

a symbol?

Am I nuts, or is it impossible to animate simple drawn lines or shapes 

unless you make them symbols?


If the above is true, does making these things symbols make the movie 

bigger?

(Especially text)


If the above is true, why would anybody use anything else than symbols in 

Flash ?


Also, what's the average movie size for a full site?(i.eGabocorp and 

subsequent copies of it around)

How many symbols do you guys end up with (roughly)?


I'm putting my stuff together, end since the manual is what it is, I'm 

having to find workarounds a-la-fab for everything it doesn't tell 

me....Lots. And they're not that great!

answers to these questions would help a lot.


Thank you.


Fab.
